Since lava is required to fuel these engines, whats the best way to do it?

It's from extra utilities. You could use the buildcraft pump but you would need to chunk load it

How do i chunkload it? Just make a chunk loader?
Yes. Or, if you have Blood Magic installed, make yourself a Serenade of the Nether Ritual. Infinite lava source blocks for a rather cheap cost, anywhere you want it.

If I use a bc pump can I just transfer the lava with waterproof pipes?
Yep, or fluiducts. Your choice really.

Last thing, I use a liquid tesseract right
Or you can use Magma Crucible. Netherrack input, lava output. %66 of lava you produce goes to Magmatic Engine which is powering the Magma Crucible. You can store the rest. And as Magma Crucible has 3 by 9 inventory, 28 stacks of Netherrack should last a bit. If you want to automate gathering Netherrack, you can set up a Quarry in Nether, store Netherrack in Ender Chest and pump it out on Overworld.
Edit(31.1.14): You'll need 30 Redstone Engines to run Quarry continuously. You can extract Netherracks with wooden pipe without using an engine to power the pipe. But you'll need an at least one Redstone engine to power the wooden pipe to extract Netherracks from the Ender Chest. Therefore to setup up this system you need:
-A Quarry, 31 Redstone Engines, 2 Ender Chests, 2 Wooden Pipes, a Magma Crucible, a Magmatic Engine, 31 Wooden Conductive Pipes, 60 Stone Conductive Pipes. Storing lava is up to you.
I can make a setup for you if you want.

lava fabricator requires as much or more power to create a bucket of lava than one bucket can provide unfortunately although I guess it could be used to convert EU into RF. You might be able to get more out of an oil fabricator by processing it into fuel, but again probably not.

We dont know because you dont tell us what mods you have.
Fuel was actually very power possitive in 1.5. To the point where youd put in 1eu(or mj) in a oil generator to get 2 eu(or mj) worth of power in return. The math behind it is around this forum somewhere
Then 1.6 came around and liquid boilers got nerfed hard...MoosyDoosy

Easiest is just BC Pump w/ Chunkloader loading it, Four Redstone Engines powering it, Ender Tank right next to Pump taking in lava. Make the Ender Tank's pair for your base.
Well, it's not infinite at all.
